Background and
objectives |
|
Since 1984, there has been a highly successful biennial series of
International Conferences on Functional Grammar (ICFG). At the
general meeting following the most recent of these conferences
(London, 2008), the decision was taken to orient future conferences
to Functional Discourse Grammar.
The aim of IC-FDG-2010 is accordingly to further elaborate the model
of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) as proposed by Kees Hengeveld
and J. Lachlan Mackenzie. A full treatment of FDG may be found in:
Hengeveld, Kees and Mackenzie, J. Lachlan 2008. Functional Discourse Grammar: A
typologically-based theory of language structure. Oxford: Oxford
University Press.
-
The language of the
conference will be English.
-
All sessions will
be plenary.
-
A poster session
will be part of the programme.
